Reporting for strategy and change

Unit Code: MAO5004

Credit Points: 6

Description:

Different stakeholder groups in organisations rely on a range of reports and dashboards for operational and strategic decision-making needs. Engaging and relevant reports that communicate appropriate key performance indicator (KPI) information should be aligned to organisational strategy and objectives.

This unit will explore the stakeholder engagement and leadership skills necessary to drive adoption and usage of self-service reporting platforms. The unit will also introduce modern reporting and data management platforms used for implementing reporting solutions.

Students will develop an understanding of the optimal characteristics (e.g., accessibility, completeness) of a report and/or dashboard to support different levels of management in an organisational setting. Lastly, the unit will illuminate how reports and dashboards can enable visibility on performance measures to monitor progress towards an organisation’s strategy.
